Happy Summer! ☀️

I'm so proud of this student, who has been working incredibly hard this year on hearing and segmenting the individual sounds in words! This important foundational skill in phonemic awareness supports both reading and spelling, and it has already made a noticeable difference in his confidence and abilities this year! 🎉

Today we worked on the word "synthesize." Can you count the sounds in this word? 🤓

I’m so excited about this Lab, it’s going to be eye-opening! 👀

In “Superpower of Sight,” students learn the foundational science of how the human eye works while also exploring common causes of vision difficulties. 👁️

They bring learning to life by constructing an Eye Model, using a magnifying lens to represent the cornea and investigating how the parts of the eye work together to support vision. Then, we build a strong informational paragraph together using science vocabulary and clear, precise details.

Is your child curious about how the human eye works? This is the lab for them! 🤗

Looking for an engaging way to build your child’s writing skills this summer? ☀️
